Dryer Belt Cleaning
« on: March 17, 2015, 09:20:19 AM »
Well we got fed up with the clutter & lint crud and declared a cleaning day in the shop today.

Anybody got suggestions about how they 'clean' a dryer belt?

We generally just start the dryer and stand at the in-feed and use light color scrap shirts held against the roller to remove the slight gunk accumulation.  5-10 minutes or so and the cleaner shirts no longer pick up residue and we consider ourselves finished.

Never really had significant amounts of dirt but occasionally we will have a bright neon garment pick up some crud from not sure where and while we are in cleaning mode...

Looking for tidbits of good stuff from this thread,

What you do but with warm,  soapy water.

You mean having an expensive white Outer Banks polo get caught on a side wiping it clean wasn't the usual way?  :o
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

I take brush at the feeder end while the belt is nice and hot and brush across the belt removes 80 % of ink that has gotten on there other times I might take an old shirt spray a little screen opener on it and wipe it then hit it again if needed with the brush.
